SATA port multiplier support in 2.6.21

Hello:

I understand that SATA port multiplier support was added in 2.6.24. I would like to use 2.6.21 and still use port multilplier. Can someone point me to a patch I may use to do this? Any other ideas?

There were patches from Tejun (libata-tj-stable) for 2.6.18 and 2.6.22 at one point, but I don't know where you'd find them anymore (the original site at http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Libata-tj-stable
is down). You may have some luck googling around for those.

2.6.21 is over two years old, so your best bet would be to upgrade to a more recent version, or, if you're stuck with some distribution kernel, talk to your vendor for support.

Here are old patches.

But, yeah, seriously, if at all possible, please use newer kernels. There have been a lot of updates.

Thanks.

Eh... I seem to have patches for 17, 18, 22 and 23 but unforunately not for 21.

The link is working fine now. Thanks!

If I were to pick one, which one should I try first on 21? 18 or 22?
